Italy is mine

A fantastic experience tonight, at the Irish Cultural Centre. Thanks to Gaff for his humour, his kindness and the good vibes: it was a great night and I am happy and proud to have managed to write down my story just two hours before the start, sitting in the tranquil, peaceful and lovely courtyard of the Irish Cultural Centre, a locus amœnus where all the Good and Beautiful Things gather.
